Appendix: Healthy Minnesota 2020 Framework and Core Indicators

Healthy Minnesota 2020 is a framework for creating and improving health throughout the state of Minnesota. The framework features three themes that reflect the importance of social and economic determinants for health: capitalize on the opportunity to influence health in early childhood; assure that the opportunity for health is available everywhere and for everyone, and strengthen communities to create their own healthy futures. The framework also identifies nine core indicators to monitor and provides examples of a range of strategies that relate to each of the three themes.
